Gold medal winning coach, Jon Emmett works with sailors and coaches
around the world and is frequently asked things like: 'What is a good
exercise to improve this?' 'Why do we do this exercise?' 'How do we make
the exercise more / less difficult?' This book is the answer to those
frequently asked questions. It contains training exercises for each
element of a sailing race. As well as describing and illustrating the
exercise, it tells you what skills you are trying to improve, why and
how to make the exercise harder or easier. The book will enable coaches
to deliver better, more focussed, training sessions, but it will also
help sailors who don't have the benefit of a coach to practise and
improve their sailing skills. The exercises are marked as to whether
they are suitable for solo boats, groups of boats or those with a coach
boat. As Aristotle said: "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then
is not an act, but a habit." Armed with this book, get out, do some
training and improve your sailing skills!
